I have been using APPs for ten years when I built my first K2. I have used APP
connectors on two K2s and two K3s. All cables to APP connectors have been
soldered in. I have never had a problem. If the cables are soldered correctly

They are simple to remove, there is a special tool, but a very small
screwdriver will work.
Put it in the 'front' end, just under the contact and press the leaf spring
that holds the contact in down.
Normally you'd just pull on the wire, but you'll have to use a pair of fine

Use a small flat-blade screwdriver. Lift the front edge of the connector, which
hooks over the front lip of the metal piece that's built into the plastic
connector. It's designed to work this way. You shouldn't break it.

Hi,
One of my cables slipped out of the Anderson power pole- I didn´t solder it

Hi Don,
That concern was addressed in the article: "It also has, in addition to a

fixing mistakes."

contacts (and resulting heating and even fir

This was in the April 2009 of the Yankee Clipper Contest Club Scuttlebutt,

Well worth reading for a better understanding of the "How to" of APPs.
Too, a cheap but effective looking tool from Harbor Freight is noted.
